Pretty manageable home slate although Texas Tech and Utah back-to-back could be ugly given their QB situations and the recent success of both programs.

The Colorado game seems like our best shot at breaking our November duck.

Definitely see a few pathways to a winning record if we figure out some key areas of the roster.

Looks like another 5-1, 6-0 start to get everyone excited and then another complete 2nd half collapse to end the season with the tougher teams backloaded. I'd guess 5-7 or 6-6 on the year unfortunately... Hope I'm wrong
